Chapter 2 - The Last Day.
The last day of Plant Hill would be the saddest for some. Sad in the way that we would never step foot through those doors again, but alright because we were all having a massive party. There was no point in lessons, apart from to hand in homework so we were just watching films all day. That morning I gave one of the teacher's money to get us chips for lunch so by the time lunch came, we were all expecting a huge chip-feast. Before she arrived, we were all watching "Ugly Betty", a show I much loved. The chips came and we were all gathered around the projector, munching away while watching the series. Life was good, nothing beats sitting in a classroom with friends, eating chips, drinking coke and shoving Philip underneath the desk.
Tiffany looked happier than usual but I didn't know why at the time. Perhaps they had given her a large portion of chips instead of a small. We were only half way through our chips when a news update interrupted our programme.
"Biggest Solar Flare to leave sun since 1923 to hit earth tonight. Northern Lights can be seen from England. Satellites at risk of burning." The news reporter said. I was slightly panicked because I couldn't risk losing signal or Wi-Fi but the thought of watching the Northern Lights exited me, especially watching them with somebody special.
Just like he could read my mind, Michael texted me.
Hey. Meet me tonight in Heaton park, next to the golfing entrance please xxx
I texted back immediately.
Sure x
Tiff and Sarah looked at me enthusiastically. I simply tapped my nose and mouthed "I'll tell you later." They both understood. We finished our chips and danced around like crazy people, having a really awesome time. That was until the bell went, then it was another lesson. I had maths last, with the craziest teacher to ever work at the school. She was alright, some of the time. She liked me and Lucy best which meant we could sit there and do nothing. Literally, nothing. The hour went by quickly and before I knew it, we were being shoved out of the school. I looked back at the building I always called a "Hell Hole". It was strange to think that it was the end already. We had until April, then it would be gone forever. All the memories and doodles and random times would also be destroyed. Individuality, people wanting to be unique, special, stand out. The Co-Operative didn't allow any of that. We were gradually being shoved into a nation where everybody looks, acts, think and does the same thing. Sad isn't it.
It was only 3 so it wasn't officially over for another 10 minutes. I spotted a couple of my friend from year 7 and wished them a nice holiday and searched the crowd for Tiff. Sarah came out first, followed by Gareth and Philip and then Tiff arrived, just as the bell was about to go. I hugged them all and headed off down the road, making sure I still had my camera. It held all the memories of today so I couldn't bear loosing it. I looked back over my shoulder and said goodbye to Plant Hill.
A/N: Ah! It's TimeLadyOfTheHunt (I do hope that is how you spell it now...), my dearest friend Tifferz :D So yea...Hmm, these chapters are very short...TIME TO DO A LONG ONE :D
I am currently in Ireland as well at the moment, so I only get to write in the mornings and at night, but I still have a load of ideas and I do type quite quickly :)
Enjoy x
